Units use unique recruiting events to entice enlistment

Potential recruits recently immersed themselves in a South Dakota National Guard unit, riding on rafts, participating in a paintball match against soldiers and donning life vests to witness closeup how engineering soldiers build water bridges.

“Probably, the No. 1 question I get asked is, ‘What do they do?’’ said Sgt. 1st Class Elizabeth Flemming, a South Dakota Army National Guard Recruiting and Retention noncommissioned officer. “I can sit here and read out of a regulation what a 12-Charlie bridge crew member does. Or, I can take them, and they can meet soldiers who are doing the job and see what it takes to accomplish their mission.”
